Before getting the $100,350 sweeper, public work employees used push brooms and shovels to maintain the streets. "We have a daily schedule planned and we are going to get after it," said Castillo, "It s been so long since we have had the streets cleaned." Hatch received two grants from USDA Rural Development to purchase the sweeper.
